Amosi 2
1 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Olw’ebyonoono bya Mowaabu ebisatu weewaawo ebina, siriggyawo busungu bwange. Kubanga yayokya amagumba ga kabaka wa Edomu ne gafuuka evvu.
Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Moab, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime.
2 Ndiweereza omuliro ku Mowaabu era gulyokya ebigo bya Keriyoosi. Abantu ba Mowaabu balifiira wakati mu kusasamala okungi omuliba okuleekaana n’okufuuwa amakondeere.
So will I send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the horn;
3 Ndizikiriza omukulembeze wa Mowaabu n’abakungu baamu bonna, ndibatta,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD.
4 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Olw’ebyonoono bya Yuda ebisatu weewaawo ebina, siriggyawo busungu bwange. Kubanga banyoomye amateeka ga Mukama, ne batakuuma biragiro bye nabawa ne bagondera bakatonda ab’obulimba bajjajjaabwe be baagobereranga.
Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Judah, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because they have rejected the law of the LORD, and have not kept His statutes, and their lies have caused them to err, after which their fathers did walk.
5 Ndiweereza omuliro ku Yuda ne njokya ebigo bya Yerusaalemi.”
So will I send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
6 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Olw’ebyonoono bya Isirayiri ebisatu weewaawo ebina, siriggyawo busungu bwange. Batunda obutuukirivu bafune ffeeza, ne batunda n’abaavu olw’omugogo gw’engatto.
Thus saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Israel, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because they sell the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;
7 Balinnyiririra emitwe gy’abaavu mu nfuufu, n’abajoogebwa ne batalamulwa mu bwenkanya. Omwana ne kitaawe bayingira eri omuwala omu ne boonoona erinnya lyange.
That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the humble; and a man and his father go unto the same maid, to profane My holy name;
8 Bagalamira okumpi ne buli kyoto ku ngoye ezaweebwayo ng’obweyamo. Mu nnyumba ya bakatonda baabwe mwe banywera omwenge oguleetebwa abatanziddwa.
And they lay themselves down beside every altar upon clothes taken in pledge, and in the house of their God they drink the wine of them that have been fined.
9 “Nazikiriza Abamoli ku lwabwe newaakubadde nga baali bawanvu ng’emivule era nga ba maanyi ng’emyera. Nazikiriza ebibala ebyali waggulu okutuuka ku mirandira egyali wansi.
Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
10 Nakuggya mu nsi y’e Misiri, ne nkukulemberera emyaka amakumi ana mu ddungu, weetwalire ensi y’Abamoli.
Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorites.
11 “Nayimusa abamu ku batabani bammwe okubeera bannabbi, ne ku balenzi bammwe okuba Abawonge ba Mukama. Si bwe kiri bwe kityo abantu ba Isirayiri?” bw’ayogera Mukama.
And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazirites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the LORD.
12 “Naye mmwe ne mudda mu kuwa Abawonge ba Mukama omwenge okunywa, ne muwa bannabbi amateeka nga mubagamba nti temuwa byabunnabbi.
But ye gave the Nazirites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying: 'Prophesy not.'
13 “Laba, ndibasesebbula ng’eggaali eryettisse ebinywa by’emmere ey’empeke bwe lisesebbula ekiri mu kkubo lyalyo.
Behold, I will make it creak under you, as a cart creaketh that is full of sheaves.
14 Abanguwa tebaliwona, n’ab’amaanyi tebalikuŋŋaanya maanyi gaabwe era n’omuzira nnamige talisobola kuwonya bulamu bwe.
And flight shall fail the swift, and the strong shall not exert his strength, neither shall the mighty deliver himself;
15 Omukubi w’obusaale omukugu taliyimirira kunywera, n’omuserikale ow’ebigere nnakinku talisobola kuwenyuka. Abo abasajja abazira abeebagazi b’embalaasi tebalisobola kuwonya bulamu bwabwe.
Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself; neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself;
16 Ku lunaku olwo abalwanyi abazira nnamige balidduka bukunya!” bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama.
And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD.
